Chapter 41 The battalion headquarters arrives!

Gu Chengyuan didn’t know what the survivors were thinking, or even if he knew, he didn’t care. After all, they knew nothing about the system.

Gu Chengyuan led a squad of elite soldiers with flashlights in hand and quickly walked to the playground in the dark night.

Taking into account the exercise needs of the survivors and soldiers, as well as the distance from the school gate, Gu Chengyuan did not set up the parking lot on the plastic track, but on the basketball court next to the school gate.

When we arrived at the basketball court, several soldiers from the first squad were arranged to wear reflective vests and go to the school gate to act as guides for the deputy battalion commander and others who were about to arrive.

Then Gu Chengyuan found a place to sit down.

Pu Guangqiang took the remaining few people to stand guard not far away to prevent unknown dangers.

Gu Chengyuan raised his eyes and looked around, and found that it was pitch black everywhere, even in the direction of the city there seemed to be no light at all.

At this time of day, there would normally be a hustle and bustle of traffic and bright lights. Even the basketball court where I am sitting now should be bustling with people, filled with young basketball players who are venting their energy.

What he saw now was an empty, dark and dilapidated place, which made Gu Chengyuan feel as if he had been in the last days for many years.

He raised his head sadly and gazed at the stars in the sky, which were getting brighter day by day.

I can't help but think of that summer when I was a child, on a hot evening, in a backward small town in the southwestern mountains, my father took me to the river to catch dragonflies. On the way home, I held the bowl of shaved ice that I had been craving for a long time, and I could see the starry sky when I looked up.

And now, the stars that have dimmed with age seem to be returning…

Gu Chengyuan couldn't help but wonder, in the end times, the stars are shining, but are humans the only ones dimming?

The melancholy contemplation caused by the environment did not last long and was interrupted by the voice coming from the walkie-talkie.

"Report to the commander, the lead vehicle of the deputy battalion commander's convoy has arrived at the school gate!"

Gu Chengyuan quickly calmed down and immediately picked up the intercom and replied:

"The conductor should do a good job of guiding the convoy into the parking lot!"

"Roger that!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a bright white headlight shot out from the darkness not far away, and as the sound of the engine got closer and closer, the lights became more and more, forming a light strip that was not so vast, but it was enough to pierce the darkness before his eyes.

Seeing this scene, Gu Chengyuan suddenly cursed fiercely:

"Fuck it! Even if the stars are dim in the end of the world, I will use artillery, tanks and armored vehicles to make the stars shine again!"

"Even if the light shining is the light of explosion!"

Gu Chengyuan didn't have to wait long before a convoy led by a Mengshi 3 armored command vehicle drove into the basketball court under the guidance of the command personnel.

Following closely were the Mengshi 2 battlefield ambulance, the Mengshi 3 communication node vehicle, two six-wheel drive Shaanxi Automobile military transport vehicles, three cooking vehicles and three Mengshi 3 armored assault vehicles that were left behind.

The orange turn signal, the red reversing light, the shouts of the personnel holding the three-color traffic lights, the ticking sound of the reversing car, and the unique sound of the air brake of the transport vehicle...

The entry of the convoy made the previously deserted basketball court suddenly lively, dispelling Gu Chengyuan's sudden gloom.

Looking at the Mengshi 3 armored command vehicle that had already entered the parking space, Gu Chengyuan and Pu Guangqiang took the initiative to walk over.

The passenger door opened and an officer with the rank of major got out. He was about thirty-six or thirty-seven years old, about one meter eighty centimeters tall, with a stocky build, a square face, a mole on his chin, and slightly narrowed almond-shaped eyes that contained a sharp light.

A very elegant soldier

This was Gu Chengyuan’s first impression.

When the major saw Gu Chengyuan, he immediately raised his hand and saluted.

"Reporting to the commander, Deputy Battalion Commander Wu Bin and his 51 soldiers report to you!"

Gu Chengyuan also raised his hand in return

"Thank you for your hard work. Once the vehicles arrive, we will organize the soldiers to go to the canteen for lunch! After lunch, the staff will arrange accommodation for you!"

"Yes!"

Deputy Battalion Commander Wu Bin immediately called the platoon leader of the battalion headquarters and the platoon leader of the third platoon of the company and issued Gu Chengyuan's order.

This temporary team of more than 50 people quickly packed up their belongings and headed to the cafeteria for meals and settling down, led by driver Hu Junpeng.

As for the parking lot, Gu Chengyuan left a group of people to guard it, and he planned to set up a sentry post in the parking lot in the future. Now that there are more equipment and supplies in the parking lot, it is necessary to allocate forces to guard it, otherwise it will be troublesome if the supplies are lost or the vehicles are damaged.

After arranging everything, the deputy battalion commander followed Gu Chengyuan to the cafeteria, and the two chatted on the way.

Through the conversation, Gu Chengyuan discovered that the deputy battalion commander's resume was also very impressive. He graduated from the Red Infantry Academy, known as the West Point of the East, and started as a platoon leader. He has participated in many large-scale international and domestic exercises.

He has been awarded many times for his meritorious service. When he was a company commander, he was named one of the "Top Ten Model Soldiers of the Army" by the Ministry of National Defense of Daxia. He was awarded three second-class individual merits and four third-class individual merits. Later, he was promoted to battalion commander and led two companies of collective second-class merit. He was also awarded the honorary title of "Most Combat-Capable Cadre" of his group army.

With this amazing resume, if nothing unexpected happens, Deputy Battalion Commander Wu Bin will at least be a general in the future. Such a tough guy was demoted half a level to be his deputy!

Gu Chengyuan suddenly felt a sense of inadequacy, but at the same time, his worries about his inability were completely dispelled.

The answer is that it was me and the deputy battalion commander who were killing people indiscriminately!
